Reign Spoilers: Will Mary Sentence a Man to Death in Order to Leave Francis?

by Shilo Adams / November 1, 2013

Rather than biding her time waiting for Francis to love her, Mary decided to accept Prince Tomas’ proposal and earned the military support of Portugal as a result. Granted, the decision to leave Francis was motivated by the loss of the six companies of men who were sent to Scotland, but Mary long decided that she was not going to let herself be placed in the drawer, only to be pulled out when France needs Scotland’s support. As expected, though, getting untangled from the engagement proves to be a difficult thing and coming up on Reign, Mary will accordingly be put in an excruciatingly difficult position. Will she go as far as sentencing a man to death in order to end her engagement to Francis?
